Apr 12, 2021 LASALLE, Colo. — A fundraiser has been set up to help the family of a 44-year-old employee at Shelton Dairy who drowned in a manure pit at Shelton Dairy.

Sources close to the family say Juan Panzo Temoxtle was operating the manure vacuum truck on March 30 when it appeared to lurch forward and fell into the manure pit, according to Project Protect Food Systems Workers (PPFS). The cab of the truck was submerged in the liquid manure with Temoxtle trapped inside. Workers on site were unable to pull the heavy vacuum truck out of the pit.

Had a similar experience on Dad’s dairy farm. Was walking behind a cow that decided to take a dump. Unfortunately, the cow had diarrhea and had a coughing spell while unloading. Covered me head to toe.

How did Dad die, Mom? Shut up and cover your nose. You’re supposed to have a face mask on anyway!

Apparently Temoxtle was a non smoker, because if he had lit a match, he would have been blown clear ...

just like in the movies ...

He was on the job for 6 days...and he’s hovering over a liquid manure pit....talk about immersion training..
But it is sobering to see how fast, and with very little warning, someone can die. RIP.

“PPFS says Temoxtle had been employed at Shelton Dairy for about six weeks and the day of the accident was his first day operating the dairy’s manure vacuum truck.”

I know we all use the saying doing jobs that Americans won’t do and this is a perfect example of that.

Happens more than you would think. Get overcome from methane and fall in dying.
